{quote} Oh my god, I didn't notice that at all when checking the log...but for my surprise the values where defined in the XML differently: {image} Here the values are set to 0.01 for every buy/sell value. Strange, I will try to re-do everything and report back. Thank you very much! Nevermind, mistake on my end, sorry for bothering
So, I hope it's working ...
Take care.

Hi JoeeF, Firstly thank you for your great & incredible work

i have some notes, hope it helps to continuation of improvements of this project, feel free to skip any of these notes that you don't like or don't agree with that:

1- I can confirm that error 130 that related to ECN accounts have been solved in this version (1.03). you did a great work here, because as a coder i know it's a strange bug that many EAs have that. EA can open trades now as you see below:

2- I had a signal on EURNZD, but i didn't get any signal alert anywhere about that, not in mt4 terminal or not in xml log file... and also EA didn't open any trades for this pair, because there wasn't any signal about that except on dashboard and chart that show there must be a signal on this pair:

3- you added a new column on DB that shows change of trend but if you don't mind, in my opinion it's not very useful and it's very far from what i suggested that we can have track of latest signal that its time has passed.

4- sometimes the icons of symbols on DB doesn't work and it don't open any new chart the more you click on it.

5- all my opened trades at the moment via EA:

It just won't happen.................. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The initialism appeared in print in 1979 on the table of contents page of the LINPACK User's Guide[2] in the form "R.T.F.M." -- Anonymous, suggesting that it was already well established. Cleve Moler has since revealed that a visit to Argonne National Laboratory by Tektronix software manager Ned Thanhouser during the development of MATLAB led to the anonymous quote.[3] John Bear's 1983 book Computer Wimp! 166 Things I Wish I Had Known Before I Bought My First Computer! discusses the author hearing employees of a computer store mention RYFM ("read your fucking manual").[4] Men know that the manual is the last resort. Keep smiling lpp

You are wrong. It wasn't a signal.
There was clear downtrend and up arrow. The basic condition for BTM trading approach is confluence between trend and signal. I'm calling this as "base signal".

This new feature isn't related with what you suggested.
This new feature is tested by its author. Please don't use it. By default is disabled.

4- sometimes the icons of symbols on DB doesn't work and it don't open any new chart the more you click on it.
Yes. This is a true. I have to disable UI when is being updated. I'm too busy. A lot of event handlers aren't implemented too. For example.

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it a lot.
All the best.
And you will leave pain to take care of itself.

One win or loss matters nothing. The other one is on the corner. Trading is a game of probability in a long term run.

I'll release a new version 1.04 with JFXC indicator and then enable money management.

Then I'll start serious test of the BTM trading approach.

Stay green,
Joe

Yes, and this clearly has potential.

As to BTM trading aproach, I (as maybe many others) may have something to say, that I have refrained this far, as it would suggest changes to some core things of this system.

BTM basis (looking for direction on a higher TF and looking for entry on a smaller TF retracement) is the way I (and many others) trade - this is nothing new. And I believe it's good.

But there are many ways to do it, other indicators, and so on...

But let's wait untill JoeeF opens that discussion.

BTM basis is good and JoeeF's work so far...excellent.

I think MidBandFilter is the most important feature there and should be set to TRUE

You've got issue with XML file. The EA isn't able to read it properly. If you would take a look at the LOG file you would see it.

Please show us your XML config file and log output.

JoeeF, your version 1.03 runs very well, without any problems
since there are still questions tp and sl I would say, everyone should decide for themselves, greed is the worst enemy in the trade

sorry, it was my bad. i thought Sgn is "Base Signal" that shows a signal when all conditions have been met so i didn't notice about trend direction.

is normal to bad trades comes because 90% people are using very risky settings who can give you a lot but take a lot.
btm strategy are profitable when market are in one trend but when this trend start changing direction it will be a lot of false signals.
only way to protect yourself for this kind of scenario is simple, use one of first rules: DONT ENTER TRADE IF TP1 IS NOT INSIDE OF BANDS
=less profit, less losing trades, more stable grow but this is also not 100% sure if this is profitable for long term

EDIT: Maybe if josefh can put in EA, rule: dont take more then 2-3 trades in one direction
patience, patience, patience and after that more patience
